Summary

Adhesive capsulitis is a common disabling shoulder condition characterized by pain and progressive restriction of shoulder motion. This study aims to compare recent non-operative vs operative treatment modalities for adhesive capsulitis based on previously published literature to identify current trends and outcomes.

Detailed description

This study is a comparative review of previously published clinical studies evaluating non-operative management options for adhesive capsulitis, including physiotherapy protocols, intra-articular corticosteroid injections, hydrodilatation, platelet-rich plasma injections, and extracorporeal shock wave therapy Vs operative Management including Arthroscopic release and movement under general anesthesia.Outcomes such as pain relief, functional improvement, and range of motion are analyzed and compared. The study aims to provide an updated perspective on the most effective non-surgical interventions for frozen shoulder and guide future clinical practice.
